My goal is to show newbies that making good replies on existing topics is more important to this forum than creating new topics.
Yes, show them that having a quality and sensible reply or post will really give them the merit that they are looking for.
Don't rely on begging for someone to give you merit, don't ask for it, work for it.
So for newbies out there, feel free to show the OP that you can make a good post that he want and best of luck.
Hoping that you do your best to have a good reply so that you can have merit and rank up as soon as possible, hard-work pays off, newbies.
